"Compared. Of course it's better." Zhu Rong had already answered Liu Xin first. "Mr. Shan. No, no. Mr. Xu. You are a weak gentleman who has no power to bind a chicken. You dare to challenge my elder brother. Didn't you hit the rock with an egg?"
Liu Xin heard that what Xu Shu was going to compete with him turned out to be swordsmanship. Worried about him jumping the wall in a hurry. What tricks are used. He quickly pulled Zhu Rong behind him. Zheng said, "Rong'er. You are wrong. He is not a weak gentleman who has no power to bind a chicken. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child. He is good at fencing. He has killed people because of injustice. He is also a good man."
Xu Shu didn't expect Liu Xin to understand his past so clearly. It's a little unexpected. He abandoned martial arts for writing. But the swordsmanship did not fall. It's just a change from a murderous method to a physical fitness technique. Therefore, he is still very confident in defeating Liu Xin.
Seeing Liu Xin's face solemn. Xu Shu is even more confident. He shouted sharply: "Then say. You dare not compare. If that's the case, you can give up."
At that time. The main function of the saber is to make decorations. Rarely used in actual combat. More is a status symbol. Therefore, most scholars wear a sword with them. There was a good sword hanging from Xu Shu's waist. Liu Xin also has a saber. But swords, guns, bows and arrows are used more on the battlefield. His saber rarely goes out of its sheath. Now it is handed over to Jia Xu as a token. He simply didn't even have the saber on his body.
If it is more than swordsmanship. Liu Xin knew that he would lose. He doesn't know much swordsmanship at all. In addition to seeing the Olympic Games broadcast on TV in the past. Basically I haven't seen fencing. And it's the only few broadcasts. He still doesn't quite understand.
but. Liu Xin is not a person who easily admits defeat. Face the aggressive Xu Shu. He didn't even frown. He just said indifferently: "The sword has no eyes. Young Master Liu fights against others. I don't know the severity of the shot. This time I accompanied Rong'er back to her family. If you hurt you here, everyone will not look good. Let's do it. I'll fight you empty-handed."
Xu Shu furiously said, "Liu Xin. How dare you despise me."
Liu Xin shook his head. Said: "Liu did not despise you. It's just that Liu always doesn't like dancing knives and guns. You can do it first. I will let you three swords.
Although Xu Shu has abandoned Wu Congwen. But he is in the weak crown. The blood is just right. The chivalrous spirit in his bones came out again. Want to take the opportunity to kill Liu Xin. It's also good for the big man to eliminate one harm.
Just listen to the sound of "噌". Xu Shu has drawn his sword in hand. Twist a sword tactic with his left hand. Hold a sword flower in your right hand. Without saying a word, he went straight to Liu Xin and stabbed him. Liu Xin didn't panic. The left hand exerted a slight force on Zhu Rong's waist. Zhu Rong was pushed out flatly. The body twisted slightly. Xu Shu's sword flashed past. Who knows. Xu Shu's sword was just a false move. He doesn't wait for the sword style to grow old. Wrist shook. He slashed at Liu Xin at his waist. Liu Xin leaned back. It seems that the whole person is folded in two. The sword brushed past his face.
Xu Shu is worthy of being a master of swordsmanship. He still has room for this second sword. Flip the palm. Already hacked down in the air. Just take Liu Xin's throat. He used his full strength with this sword. As fast as thunder. It is inevitable.
If it is an ordinary person, it is absolutely impossible to hide from this sword. Even Zhu Rong, who was confident just now, closed his eyes. Dare to look again.
however. The scene of blood bursting in Xu Shu's imagination did not appear. Liu Xin's body twisted into an incredible angle. Can't escape his sword. From beginning to end. Liu Xin didn't move a step with her feet. Xu Shu was dumbfounded. Liu Xin already smiled and said, "Xu Shu. It's not impolite to come and go."
Liu Xin moved whenever he wanted. Fly with both palms. Suddenly countless figures appeared around Xu Shu's body. I don't know which is true. Which is false. The fierce palm wind rushed toward his face. Xu Shu couldn't breathe unexpectedly. I even forgot to dodge. In fact. He didn't know where to dodge. Had to stay in place like a log.
Just listen to Liu Xin chuckled and said, "Accepting. Accepting."
Xu Shu felt the pressure on his body suddenly lightened. Only then did I discover that it was only this moment of effort. All his clothes were soaked. The hand holding the sword also trembled slightly. But I don't understand what Liu Xin meant by saying this. I'm still standing here. Why does he think he has won. Xu Shu raised his sword and pointed at Liu Xin. Want to invite him to fight again.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of "ding ding dong dong". His saber has been broken into more than ten pieces. One after another fell to the ground. Only one hilt was left in his hand. Xu Shu was taken aback. Withdraw and retreat backwards. Suddenly felt a cold in my chest. When looking down. I saw many strips of cloth falling from his robe. The four characters "willing to bet and lose" are left.
Xu Shu couldn't help being embarrassed. Throwing the hilt of the sword in his hand. He lowered his head and said: "Xu is inferior to humans. If you want to kill, you have to pluck it. It's easy to listen to it."
There was silence all around. Everyone was stunned. In their view. Facing Xu Shu's sword. Liu Xin won with bare hands. A martial arts has reached its peak. In fact, only Liu Xin understood. He still took advantage of this competition. If he was forced to fight Xu Shu with a saber. It is absolutely impossible for him to be as handy and freely as he is now. Even if he is relying on his inner strength and flexible footwork. Not yet lose to Xu Shu. But the scene must be very embarrassing.
For things evolved into today's situation. Zhu Ding was very guilty. If it wasn't for him to take advantage of Xu Shu. And deliberately concealed that Zhu Rong had a three-year gambling contract with Liu Xin. Perhaps Xu Shu would not insist on staying at Zhu's house. Over the past year. Xu Shu did his best to teach Zhu Jie's homework. Zhu Ding was really worried that Liu Xin would execute Xu Shu in a fit of anger. Can not help step forward. He folded his hands and said, "Lord..."
Liu Xin doesn't need to guess. I also know that Zhu Ding wanted to intercede for Xu Shu. Waved. Do not let Zhu Ding continue.
Brothers are like hands. A wife is like clothes. Most people in that era held the same views as Liu Bei. But Liu Xin is different. It was all right when he didn't want to accept Zhu Rong. Now that Zhu Rong has become his woman. He couldn't tolerate Zhu Rong's idea anymore. Of course. If Zhu Rong wanted to leave him, it would be a different matter. So at the beginning. Liu Xin was really angry. But when he knew that Zhu Rong's mind hadn't changed the slightest because of Xu Shu's outstanding talent and personable demeanor. Can not help but feel good. He forgave Xu Shu by the way.
Liu Xin glanced comfortably at Zhu Rong, who still hadn't recovered from the shock just now. Turned his head to Xu Shu and laughed. Said: "I will neither kill you nor slash you. I will only punish you for one thing."
Xu Shu has been a hero since he was young. There is a quagmire of its own. Although abandoning Wu Congwen in recent years. But those things hidden in his bones cannot be changed temporarily. Hearing what Liu Xin said. He has a chest. Loudly said: "Since I lost to you. Xu has nothing to say. You draw a word. Xu followed."
"As expected of Xu Yuanzhi. He is responsible." Liu Xin smiled and nodded. Continue to say. "Liu has just appointed Lord Zhu to serve as the ambassador to the five counties of South China. The plenipotentiary representative Liu is responsible for the government affairs of the five counties of Zangke, Yizhou, Jianning, Yongchang, and Yueshang. The situation in these five counties is complicated. Zhu. The adults still lack an assistant. According to Liu, Yuan Zhizheng can take on this important task."
Xu Shu couldn't believe his ears. Repeatedly asked: "What did you say."
Liu Xin put a smile away. Zheng said: "Xu Shu. This is not a gift to you. It is a punishment for you. I now appoint you as deputy envoy of Xuanwei in the five southern counties. I will assist Master Zhu. Five years later. Five years later. If these five The people of the county are living a good life. At that time, the grievances between you and me will be wiped out. Let you go. If it is five years later, the people of the five counties are still living in dire straits. Humph. Don’t blame Liu Mou for turning his face and ruthless. "
Xu Shu lowered his head and groaned silently. A look hard to choose. Although Liu Xin is also a relative of the Han clan. But Xu Shu didn't regard him as orthodox Han Dynasty. Deep down in his heart, he was still on the side of Liu Xie.
Liu Xin sneered and said, "Is it impossible to regret it."
If you lose, don't lose reason. Xu Shu is a man of faith. It's up to him to deal with it. Naturally there is no reason to repent. Although Liu Xin's disposal method was a bit beyond Xu Shu's expectations. But Liu Xin still has room. Five years. It's over after a bite. As long as the five counties of Nanzhong are well managed. At that time, he will still be a free body. For this. Xu Shu is still very confident. Thought of this. He suddenly started to Subaru. Say loudly: "Okay. I promise you."
The reason why Liu Xin and Xu Shu set a five-year period. Not three years or eight years or ten years. He has his own considerations. Liu Xin knows. Xu Shu is actually a very powerful character. His ingenuity is not inferior to Zhuge Liang and others.
in history. Cao Cao in order to control Xu Shu. Detained his mother. Xu Shu, a filial man, had to defect to Cao Cao. But he refused to offer a strategy. And Cao Cao didn't embarrass him very much. Because Cao Cao's purpose was only to put him under house arrest. It's okay not to be used by others.
Liu Xin knew that Xu Shu had an upright temperament. If he is not willing to work for himself. It's useless to force it. You can't give Zhu Rong a hand in order to win him over. This kind of thing. Liu Xin can never do it. Besides, Zhu Rong would not agree. therefore. Liu Xin also adopted a similar strategy to Cao Cao. Since Xu Shu can't use it for himself. That would not allow him to help his enemy.
It's just in the specific approach. Liu Xin is still different from Cao Cao. Liu Xin didn't want to raise him for nothing. Instead, we must try our best to squeeze some value out. It would be better to let him help Zhu Ding at this time.
The five-year period is also the most appropriate. It can let Xu Shu see the hope of freedom and work hard. You can also use these five years to attack the princes of all walks of life in the world. By the time. Even if Xu Shu was free. He has few places to go. After all, there were many princes who couldn't enter Xu Shu's eyes.
Hearing Xu Shu agreed. Liu Xin stroked her palm and laughed. Said: "Okay. That's it. But. I have one additional condition."
